Once Upon A Cowboy Christmas by Soraya Lane

Author:  Soraya Lane
Release Date:  October 29, 2019










This story took my Forever!! Not because it was awful, but because November was a busy month for me. Geez.! Why can't I just read books day in and day out? Why do I have to be an adult?!! Okay, enough about my problems, let's jump into this review. I got back to my favorite type of hero with this story and you probably guessed it, right?  Cowboys!! Not only is he a cowboy, but he is one with deep pockets and he gets a second chance at love, which is also my fav.!!

At the first chance of leaving his small town in Texas, Cody could not leave fast enough.  Trying to escape the slow wither of his dying mother, Cody leaves for college and doesn't look back.  In the crossfire is Lexi and she is hell bent on holding a grudge against the boy who skipped town and crushed her heart. Ten years later, Cody is home for the holidays and Lexi is his dad's nurse.  Cody's dad has cancer and he is basically bed ridden and Lexi is his home nurse.  Their past tests their present and Cody has to decide whether to face his past head on or to run away from it like the first time.  I liked Cody and Lexi together and I adored Lexi's son.  The family dynamic was sweet and Cody wasn't the rugged cowboy, but he was business savvy and knew how to get his hands dirty.  The death of Cody's mother was a hart hit for him and he has been running away ever since.  Lexi is a single mother and is given a helping hand by the Ford family and she is a strong character with a huge heart being that her mother is sick as well.  I loved them together and I was so happy about how things unfolded.

The family dynamic narrative carried this story and I really adored Walter, Cody's father.  The tender love that Lexi had for her son really touched me and I really felt for her.  I was so excited when Cody finally faced his past and came to his senses. Thank the Heavens for that because he already screwed up once, Big time.


I really don’t have much negative things to says besides the ending feeling unfinished, which is a minor thing and not much to lose hair over.  Another thing is the switching of the POVs.  It switches from Lexi and Cody's simultaneously and it kinda bothered me, but it didn't pull me from the story too much.  This is a sweet Christmas story about a second chance at love and a cowboy coming home. Grab some tea or hot cocoa because I definitely recommend it.!!

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
